A nice nationally televised matchup on Super Bowl Sunday afternoon. The Pistons will seek revenge from a 16 point loss in Dallas. Avery Johnson has tinkered with his starting lineup looking for a spark.

DET seems to be the only team that lets Nowitzki catch the ball on O. Herrrrrman had success because he bodied him prior to receiving the pass and took his legs away. If they go with Wallllllter, how will that impact the rest of the rotation?

Good defensive effort today after getting embarrased by the Mavs three weeks ago and allowing the Lakers free will in the second half of Thursdays game.

67 points for a team that averages 100...Dirk 3-18

Our allstar guards didn't have a good game shooting wise 8-25, but had key hoops in the second half to keep the lead in double digits. Sheed and Tay made up for the guard play and for the second straight game Sheed comes back in the second qtr to lead a spark after the offense had stalled and we allowed the Mavs to come within 1 pt at 29-28.

Once again stellar play by the bench (32 pts) as Max also provided some spark in the first qtr as the first guy off the bench. Stuckey started inconsistent, but had a very good game and a career high 11 points. Right now he looks more comfortable playing the 2 than the point. Hayes also looked good today and Fabio proved that he still belongs on the team if for some reason hayes goes down.

Flip jr was activated, but did not get in since Avery didn't throw up the white flag until the 3 minute mark and FlipSr wisely kept his youth in there to play together.

Super win for this super Sunday. Superbowl party at Sheeds house, Mavs invited!!

It really doesn't matter what you call him, just put him on the floor, and put the ball in his hands. He can defend the 1 and 2, and coming off bench, you don't really need a true pass-first PG anyways. A guy you can count on to come in and attack the paint effectively is more important. Flip's offense has always been based around a scoring PG rather than a pass-first guard anyways. Especially with the sets he runs while the bench is in the game (a lot of iso's for whichever starters are remaing in the game).
